Every depth chart calls take
2976–3000 of 4,787
Jonathon Brooks to be 1st on the depth chart
If Jonathon Brooks is fully healthy (I think he will be), he could easily be the backfield leader coming out of camp.
Stefon Diggs to be 3rd on the depth chart
Diggs is a strong WR3 with upside this season. I expect the Washington passing attack to be funneled through Diggs and Terry McLaurin.
Courtland Sutton to be 3rd on the depth chart
At age 31, Sutton feels more like a volume-dependent WR3 than a true alpha receiver moving forward.

Jeremiyah Love to be 1st on the depth chart
While I'm confident Love will get the majority of the work...
Jeremiyah LoveArizona Cardinals
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 12, 2026 - PendingTed ChmyzDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Tyler Allgeier to be 2nd on the depth chart
Tyler Allgeier is a solid No. 2 RB who could claim a frustratingly large slice of an already small pie
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 12, 2026 Cam Skattebo to be 1st on the depth chart
If Cam Skattebo is fully healthy, I expect him to lead New York’s backfield
Tyler Shough to be 1st on the depth chart
He now enters the 2026 season as the Saints’ undisputed starter
Michael Pittman to be 3rd on the depth chart
Pittman’s volume and red-zone involvement should keep him firmly in the WR3 mix in a pass-happier offense led by HC MIke McCarthy
Josh Downs to be 1st on the depth chart
a late-season route bump could suggest more of Downs in a full-time role in 2026
Michael Pittman to be 1st on the depth chart
If the Steelers lean heavily on quick-game concepts, Pittman could easily lead the team in receptions/targets.
- PendingFantasyProsDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Jauan Jennings to be 3rd on the depth chart
his move to Minnesota likely pushes him into a depth role behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison

Tonka Hemingway to be 2nd on the depth chart
I don't expect Hemingway to be a starter right away. Still, his pass-rush arsenal is impressive to watch... a key defender within the defensive front rotation.
Tonka HemingwayLas Vegas Raiders
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 12, 2026 J.J. McCarthy to be 2nd on the depth chart
Verdict: McCarthy should be the Vikings' QB2 ... McCarthy is who the Vikings should roll with behind Murray, rather than choose Wentz.
Brandon Coleman to be 1st on the depth chart
The team could opt to sign a veteran like Taylor Decker, but the early indication is that Brandon Coleman will assume starting duties.
Tua Tagovailoa to be 1st on the depth chart
Likewise, the Falcons need to determine their QB1 in Kevin Stefanski's first season. The current favorite appears to be ex-Dolphin Tua Tagovailoa

Alec Anderson to be 1st on the depth chart
Alec Anderson looks set to start at left guard and has just 542 snaps to his name

Penei Sewell to be 1st on the depth chart
Penei Sewell moves from right tackle to left tackle to replace Taylor Decker

Jalen Travis to be 1st on the depth chart
Jalen Travis started the team's final four games and earned a 72.2 PFF grade as a rookie, and takes over as the starter at right tackle in 2026.

Blake Miller to be 1st on the depth chart
with Blake Miller set to start as a rookie, there are several concerns with this group

Braxton Jones to be 1st on the depth chart
Braxton Jones will open the season as the starter at left tackle
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 12, 2026 DJ Moore to be 1st on the depth chart
Moore is expected to become Buffalo’s primary outside receiver
Cooper DeJean to be 1st on the depth chart
The depth chart is the depth chart, but the Eagles have DeJean in the slot for a reason.
Elijah Moore to be 5th on the depth chart
He could be the WR5 on this team, and he's also a veteran (like Brown).
Emeka Egbuka to be 1st on the depth chart
He's got No. 1 WR potential, especially if he can get help from someone else to take some of the coverage away.
Daniel Jones to be 1st on the depth chart
The Colts have Daniel Jones atop the depth chart
